Big City Boy

With 2 very capable and proven actors, Big City Boy had significant potential.

George Sears 'Eugene' meanders through a weak script and pretty ridiculous situation.

While Andrew Howard is typically cast as a clearly dangerous antagonist with marginally better lines, you can't make a diamond from this piece of damp coal.

At 30 minutes (long) the story fails to explain who any of the characters are; what their motivations are or why they do what they do; a shame when using such solid talent.

Instead, the viewer racks up a list of 'why's?' while an inspirationless narrative creaks forward to an unsatisfying 'climax'.

I watched twice to see if I had missed the hidden message - and I may well have... Perhaps it was lost in the edit....
